The compact Behringer X1204USB mixing console takes the 1204FX up a notch, providing all the same great features, plus Behringer's 24-bit, dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable, studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. User-definable parameters include reverb time and brilliance, delay room size and repetitions, modulation depth and speed, and much more. The audio mixer's time-based functions can be addressed via a handy Tap button. The most recent parameter settings are always stored in memory.
The Behringer XENYX USB mixers are designed to handle your live gigs, and they provide the state-of-the-art tools you need to make stunning, professional-quality recordings. Along with their built-in USB/audio interfaces, XENYX USB mixing consoles come with all the recording and editing software you'll need to turn your computer system into a complete, high-performance home recording studio.
Sonically Superior Mic Preamps
The Behringer XENYX X1204USB mixers have one thing in common-great-sounding, high headroom XENYX mic preamps. These state-of-the-art mic pres represent a major step in the evolution of audio technology-and they can easily hold their own, even when compared to the most expensive standalone mic preamps. XENYX preamps offer a staggering 130dB of dynamic range, with a bandwidth that extends from below 10Hz to well above 200kHz. Armed with these outstanding mic preamps, Behringer XENYX audio mixers provide such transparent, crystal-clear performance you just might think someone upgraded your mics while you weren't looking.
Sublimely Musical British EQ
The British mixing consoles of the 1960s and '70s changed the sound of rock-and-roll-without them the British Invasion might not have happened. Those legendary mixing desks soon became the envy of engineers and producers all over the world. The channel EQ on Behringer's XENYX mixers is based on that very same circuitry, allowing you to imbue signals with incredible warmth and detailed musical character. Even when applied generously, these equalizers exhibit sweet forgiveness and superb audio quality.
One-Knob Compression
Ask professional sound engineers what their favorite piece of external processing gear is and the majority response will be virtually unanimous-dynamic compression. What is compression? Compression essentially limits the dynamic range of a signal, lowering the level of loud sounds and turning up softer sounds, to achieve sonic balance. But applying compression is a delicate art that many novice, and even intermediate, sound techs have great difficulty mastering. Behringer's "one-knob" compression is available on all mono channels and is easy to operate, even for entry-level users. With this one knob, you can easily dial in the perfect amount of compression for instruments and vocals, creating powerful mixes with punch and clarity. This is indeed a rare feature for affordable mixers in this class-but standard on all Behringer XENYX USB mixers.
Effective FX
The X1204USB USB mixer features Behringer's 24-bit dual engine FX processor, with 16 editable, studio-grade presets including reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects. Complete with a highly accurate input meter, these effects can be altered to your personal taste via the Parameter control. Time-based functions can be entered manually by pressing the Tap button in tempo with the music.
Recording Bliss
There was a time when the recording process called for lots and lots of expensive gear, which meant the average musician had to buy time at a recording studio-and that time was pricey indeed. But modern technology has put personal recording well within the reach of virtually anyone with access to a computer. How do you get all that music flying around your brain into your computer? That's where XENYX USB mixers come in. Thanks to the built-in, bi-directional stereo USB audio interface, you can connect any of these mixers directly to your PC or Mac computer via a single USB cable. Now any signal source you connect to the mixer can be recorded directly to your hard drive. Which brings us to software¦

Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
I needed a small workhorse. the 1204 with effects was it. as with all behringer products they usually under promise and over deliver. sound quality is good, effects are good, over-all layout and build quality is solid. I wonder when other company's will catch on. good products for a reasonable price. I can route anything through this mixer. I can record, sub-mix, use it live or just use it as my studio patch bay for all my intstruments.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
I switched from a mackie vlz pro, and an mbox 2 mini just to this to simplify my setup. The effects are a nice touch, they sound fine for the price. Setup was a breeze, the mixer feels solid. I get no hum, and to be honest the audio interface sounds better than my mbox(this was the deciding factor on keeping it). All in all, for the price, you can't beat it.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
Just picked up this mixer and a bunch of other gear from Guitar Center in Kirkland, WA. The guys there are great, Matt, Ryan, Devon, Mike, Pete, all know their stuff & have been very helpful and friendly. This mixer is a pretty decent little box, sounds good, easy to use, fairly well built. Perfect for a podcaster or very basic studio setup. I expected to have to spend time troubleshooting buzzes & hisses, but everything sounded great right out of the box. Had to adjust for latency by about +50ms in my software, but other than that it's been a breeze. The effects are fun (especially the pitch shift, the kids love it) but are only particularly useful if you are doing live audio. You're limited to only one effect at a time, and they have a very digital/synthetic sound to them (in my opinion) and are a bit on the heavy side. There are better options available in software for those who are using it for recording. Now for the irritating limitation: the Alt3/4 and Mute button are combined into one. This seems to mean, and correct me if I'm wrong, that if you're using the Alt3/4 like I am (to send to an external sampler), there really is no mute button. Secondly, the "mute" button doesn't completely mute the channel - even with the mute button on, the channel is still sent through the FX processor and the effects are heard in the main mix if you have the FX send turned up. Because of that simple limitation, I'm already thinking now about upgrading to the similar x1622USB because it does have separate mute and sub functions, two extra stereo channels, and better control over what is sent over the subs. And it's only $40 more! I like this mixer, I do, so I hate to recommend against buying it, but $40 more just isn't that much. I'm actually surprised Behringer even bothered to make the x1204USB with such a similarly priced, better equipped big-brother.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
Okay so to set the tone here I am pretty new to making/recording music. I've been pretty serious about playing the guitar for a little over a year now having toyed with it in the past. I have a passion for singing as well and am taking lessons for both. So obviously along the way I needed to invest in some equipment to record and measure my progress. Plus, well, it's just cool stuff. I purchase a Presonus Audio box USB mixer which worked well and came with some decent software. Around the same time a friend of mine gave me an older model Behringer powered mixer similar to this one, but no USB, to try out. I got hooked. So I sold the Presonus and purchased this unit which gives me the inputs I need (the one I borrowed had twice the number) and USB connection for my laptop. I cannot be more pleased. It's a solid well-built unit. All the controls, knobs and sliders are high quality with a good solid feel. The unit is very easy to use. Which is good because the included documentation is weak at beast. But you can download a much better manual from the Behringer web site. Why it�ۡ���s not included with the unit is beyond me. I have a set of KRK Rokit Powered monitors and Shure Beta 58A mic that complete my setup. All the components work well together. I did not scrimp on the cables either and get no noticeable noise or buzzing which I have read about with other equipment. I did a lot of research on all of the components and made some mistakes along the way buying cheaper stuff, so one recommendation I can make for sure it make sure what you buy is meant to work together. It can be confusing for a rookie and even having friends who know this stuff did not help too much. They all want to spend a lot more. This unit does the job for a very reasonable price. Only knock I have is the software simply put....sucks. Period. The software that came with the Presonus was much better. I gave up on the included software pretty quick and am researching some options. I did not count on it though so I am not down grading the unit because of the bad software. Overall money well spent. I would not hesitate to buy another Behringer product.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
I sometimes hear Behringer equipment disparaged, but I have always been impressed with how sturdy, affordable and utilitarian their products are. The Behringer X1204USB is an excellent choice, affordably positioned between similar Alesis, Mackie and Allen & Heath products. I'm using it as a PA mixer with powered speakers. The effects are pleasing and the channel features are very useful. Though I might choose my virtual effects in a computer recording environment, I would not hesitate to use the mixer for routing in my home studio. And the warranty on the product is three years. Go with Behringer. Forget the naysayers.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
After much research for a compact mixer that would do want I needed, this product was selected. I am a drummer and want to run my Roland V-Series set through this mixer into QSC speakers and sub; along with having a monitor feed from sound board and click in my headphones; also to have when I play my DW acoustic set for additional microphones, etc. I thought what I was trying to do was going to be rather complicated, but with the help of another person in my band that is very brilliant with sound gear, etc, we put this thing together and it is "rocking my world". This is the 2nd Behringer product and completely satisfied.

Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
So, I'll say that I'm very new to the sound engineering world. I'm working on recording my own music and was looking for a board that was nicer than a base model, but still basic enough to suit the minimal use I would be doing. I didn't want to drop a ton in it, but wanted quality.
The more I read about Behringer, the more scared I got. "Their preamps suck," "Their functions are really limited" and "Should spend your money on something reliable" plagued all of the comment sections about Behringer products and forums. I'm here to tell you that the board I purchased pleased me to the point that I wanted to write a review, so that maybe a newbie, like me, could read it and understand its functions better.
Behringer did a terrible job at something, though. The instructions. They give very basic points on setup. They do not, however, thoroughly explain the aux sends/returns, pathways for the sends and/or FX processor. They kind of lead you to figure out some by trial and error, which is easy if you have some knowledge of soundboards.
I learned most of what I picked up about this board from the multitude of YouTube videos on setup. Keep in mind that you should sift through the information and cherry pick what you need. Some people have good parts with bits of bad/misinformation purported. For example, one video purported that "only two inputs are recorded to the computer." This is, in general, true, however, those inputs are left and right, not two individual channels, as he pointed to. The audio out is recorded L and R, but it is the main mix, which is whatever you have mixed together.
All in all, I'm very happy about this purchase. A co-worker, who works with FAR more expensive boards with amazing features, helped me to figure out what all was happening and how to get the best use out of my board.
If you simply pay attention to where signal is coming from and where it's going to, this board is nothing to figure out.
Comments about Behringer XENYX X1204USB USB Mixer with Effects:
Great piece of gear for the price, works really well along with an Audiobox to plugin a phantom powered mic, add compression and effects without rack-mount gear. Pro sound for a fraction of the price for general use, making YouTube video and live-streaming with great sound quality. Adding rackmount gear is simple, and there is also AUX input for your phone or whatever to keep things simple while streaming. The drivers for this are bad though, get an external Audio interface. I tried the Audiobox and Focusrite - both work great with this.

I will occassionally be using this mixer for Stage performance, but more often use it at home when my musician friends come over to Jam. I have used it for Karaoke, Studio, and Band practice. It seems to have sturdy construction. The FX only has 3 settings that utilize a 2-FX combo, otherwise the FX are only 1 at a time - across all channels. Overall, a very decent product.

Georgia Power 4 ReviewsGreat Service
I must say Georgia power is pretty decent despite some of the other utility companies I have encountered with in other cities. The transfer process is usually seamless (I've moved 4xs) since I been here. I was charged a $30 fee. No I don't see the reason of charging the fee. But you have to figure, if a Tech has to come out then its a respectable price. The bill is available online. It's usually the same. They even have a new bill that's called "flatbill" where your bill is the same every month no matter what. I don't work for Georgia Power, I am simply a customer. I've had Snapping Shoals at one of my units and it wasn't the greatest. When we had a pretty bad storm last summer, they even...

Cox Communications Incorporated 10 ReviewsWife Approved!
My Husband has worked for this company for 25 years. I can tell you from the family members perspective that I feel like I am just as much a part of this company as my husband is. The decisions they make as a company affect all the families at home. They realize this, and I know they think about us when they have to make tough choices. Nowhere else have I ever heard of this happening. I have talked to other wives, and believe me, they have nothing nice to say about their husbands companies. I am thankful to be a part of the Cox Communications extended family!
Atlanta Cable TV Dealer 1 ReviewsGreat service in LA!
Man these guys are fast! It only took like 15 minutes for them to unlock my car and send me on my way!
Comcast 21 ReviewsCustomer service billing very accomodating
I had a great experience with Comcast correcting some charges on my bill in the last few months. I was promised some promotions and waived connection charges but was overcharged. The rep called me back after I complained thru their website and waived the first month for me. I never expected that, i just wanted to charges corrected because I paid every month even though the charges were out of whack. I was very satisfied with that of course. The reps in the store in chamblee dunwoody suck!!

When you're a facilities construction project manager or subcontractor, your job can be as lonely as that of the Maytag repairman, but for an entirely different reason. Often the company — or companies, in the case of subcontractors — for which you work ask for complete confidentiality when it comes to the specifics of cost and schedule baselines for your projects. So how do you know how your projects measure up to others in terms of productivity? That's where Austin, Texas-based Construction Industry Institute's (CII) Benchmarking & Metrics program (see "The Road to CII Benchmarking" sidebar below) comes in.
CII, based at The University of Texas at Austin, is a consortium of more than 100 owner organizations — some of the major oil companies, chemical manufacturers, and a few pulp and paper companies as well as representation from the federal government, such as the U.S. General Services Administration — and engineering, contractor, and supplier firms from the public and private sectors. The organization is most recognized for its "Best Practices" guidelines, which are methods that, when executed effectively, should lead to enhanced project performance. "The Best Practices program really looks at those kind of activities that project managers will try to get their personnel on the project to do," says Deborah DeGezelle, CII's systems analyst.
Active member participation is critical to CII's success, so membership to the organization includes annual dues and 75% participation in the organization's surveys, as well as contributions by executive-level personnel in core processes, such as research, implementation, education, breakthrough strategy, globalization, and benchmarking and metrics.
Measuring up. The CII Benchmarking & Metrics program, initiated in 1994, provides the means for members to compare their capital and maintenance projects with other similar projects. "We measure and assess capital project performance with the idea of giving our members the ability to compare themselves to others and then figure out an improvement process," says DeGezelle. "That ties into all the research products that we publish. It's a cyclical process for us where, in the big picture, we do some research, provide some recommendations for best practices or what we think is good practice, and then get our member companies to implement it."
The Benchmarking & Metrics program also offers benchmarking training in the form of the CII Benchmarking Conference. Presenters at this year's conference, held in Austin earlier this month, discussed how to get started in benchmarking as well as how to get value from the process. The conference allows the attendees the opportunity to earn up to 7.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) credits, as well as the chance to become familiar with the hallmark of the Benchmarking & Metrics program: Project Central.
Launched three years ago, Project Central is the program's online database that allows members to enter data about engineering or construction projects and instantly generate a report about how that project compares to the norms of similar projects. "The database is more of a strictly quantitative, numerical type exercise," says Kirk Morrow, research engineer for the Benchmarking & Metrics program. "What the benchmarking side of this really provides is an external comparison of productivity data, so they can see how they perform compared to their peers."
Subscription rate. CII has also launched the Benchmarking Participants Program (BMPP), which allows non-member firms to enter 10 projects into the database and review productivity benchmarking and other best practice performance metrics for a fee. Participants receive custom reports on each project submitted and are provided access to all online benchmarking services (see "Non-Members Only" sidebar below).
Participating companies must send someone to training so that CII's benchmarking group can train the person on the system. "That's a requirement to help keep the quality of the data high," says Morrow. "But after training, the data can be input from anywhere because it's an online service."
Members that participate in the benchmarking program vary from general contractors to specific trades, explains Morrow. "Most of them are general contractors, but they don't always benchmark in all the crafts," he says. "That's not a requirement on our part."
All individual project data is confidential, and CII staff members verify projects before they become part of the database. "Nobody actually sees anybody else's numbers," says Morrow. "We only report statistical summaries, so for project XYZ you know that your wire and cable rates are 0.04 work hours per linear foot. You can compare that against a statistical summary in our database for other similar projects."
The database currently holds 97 projects in the engineering projects database with an average project cost of $42 million, and 62 projects in the construction metrics database with an average cost of $65 million. Both groups of projects are oriented in the heavy industry market segment. "Based on our membership, the questionnaire and the data collection revolves heavily around industrial projects," Morrow says. "Our membership is more from the heavy industrial side."
DeGezelle agrees with that assessment. "We categorize the different projects: heavy industrial, light industrial, buildings, and infrastructure," she says. "When you get to the productivity part, of which the electrical is a piece, we generally have the most participation in the heavy industrial area. That's most of the projects, although there's a variety of other ones — some light industrial, maybe even some buildings."
According to Morrow, there's been talk about including other markets, but CII is a volunteer organization as far as the development of new products. Therefore, in order for the organization to branch out and set up productivity metrics for the commercial and building sector, a core group of member companies would have to volunteer some of their people's time to serve on a team to develop those metrics.
The projects do vary in size, if not by market. "Most of these projects tend to be very large," says DeGezelle. "But we've got maintenance projects that are maybe only a few hundred thousand dollars, and then we have some projects that are a few billion dollars."
There are two questionnaires for the database. One is for small projects that cost between $100,000 and $5 million, don't last longer than 14 months, log 100,000 or less site work hours, and do not require the resources of a full-time project manager. The requirements for a larger projects is that it costs $5 million or more, lasts more than 14 months, logs in site work hours of 100,000 or more, and requires a full-time project manager.
According to DeGezelle, even though most of the projects in the database qualify as large, the comparisons are still a good fit for electrical work, no matter the size or market. "We look for things like engineering work hours for equipment, and it breaks down between electrical equipment 600V and below or bigger than 600V," she says. "But the questionnaire matches electrical pretty well."
Data entry. Members and subscribers can perform engineering and construction productivity benchmarking. Within each of those two categories, there are subcategories broken down by craft: concrete, structural, steel, pipe, mechanical equipment, and electrical. In each of the subcategories, there are different classifications. The electrical subcategory comprises electrical equipment and devices, conduit, cable tray, wire and cable, other electrical (lighting, grounding, and electrical heat tracing), and rework hours.
"The system for measuring productivity is based on hours per quantity," DeGezelle says. "The hours are the actual work hours, which includes any rework. So if they put it in and had to tear it out and put it in again, all those hours are included. The quantity is the installed quantity, which is either the length or the count of the devices."
After the project data is entered, the companies then get a ratio of the hours per quantity, and then they get a comparison of that ratio against the database. "The database is going to try to find the best comparison slice," says DeGezelle. If the company is looking at one particular metric compared to that metric in similar projects, the database can give the company that particular productivity rating — in which quartile it falls. If it falls within the first quartile, that means the project was on average faster than any other project for that particular metric. The database can provide scores for all the different metric elements, leading up to an overall picture of productivity.
The database also compares schedule performance. From that, a company can determine if it planned well, and if so, did it meet the schedule that it planned? "That's not always the fault of the subcontractor," DeGezelle says. "If they're not ready for you, then they're not ready — and it blows your schedule regardless."
However, tracking that information may allow a subcontractor to make a more informed decision about the contractors it works with in the future. In the end, the members and subscribers are given a key report, made up of all the scores compared against the database. The firms can then ask themselves if it was a successful project or not. "It's the ultimate goal of trying to find what went wrong, what went right, and what can they do next?" DeGezelle says. "That's the basis of it."
Sidebar: The Road to CII Benchmarking
What can you expect after your company decides to get onboard with CII's Benchmarking & Metrics program? Because this process relies heavily on active member participation, company leadership must designate a project manager and company associate for training and implementation.

With a child's toothbrush, a finger brush or a special cat toothbrush, brush your feline's teeth with cat toothpaste on a regular basis. Start slowly and very gently, offering tasty treats to discourage squirming, before attempting to increase brushing times.read more
With so much focus on the environment these days, cat owners are becoming more and more interested in making environmentally responsible decisions. "I think for all my clients, sustainability takes a backseat to nutrition," says Dr. Patricia Joyce, a veterinarian at BluePearl Veterinary Partners. "With that said, most pet owners would love to make ethical environmental choices in all aspects of their lives, including what they feed their cats."
The pet food industry is taking note. In a recent survey conducted by the trade magazine Petfood Industry, 62 percent of respondents reported believing that consumers value sustainability and cited consumer demand as one key reason for their operations adopting green practices. Below, Joyce and Virginia-based emergency veterinarian Dr. Katy Nelson weigh in on balancing your cat's nutritional requirements with environmental responsibility, and other ways to protect the planet while caring for your cat.
Cat Nutritional Needs
Cats are obligate carnivores, subsisting on diets that are high in animal protein. "A cat cannot be a vegetarian, no matter its owner's preferences," says Nelson. "Do your research and find a pet food manufacturer that emphasizes humane treatment of its protein sources, but do not force a vegetarian diet on your cat."
If the resources it requires to bring beef to your pet's dish offend your sensibilities, fish offers a healthy alternative for cats, and the cat food industry is taking particular pains to make environmentally sound fishing choices. The World Wildlife Fund, for example, is working with some companies to develop a fish sustainability program, making sure products do not include overfished species.
Some protein sources raised on land also leave a relatively small environmental footprint. For example, because of a chicken's size, transporting it "from farm to fork" results in a substantially smaller amount of greenhouse gas emissions than the transportation of beef does.
Other Ways to Help the Environment
"At the end of the day, the goal is to feed your pet the best-quality food," says Nelson. "If that's beef, then it's beef. You can try to reduce your environmental footprint in other ways that don't negatively impact your cat's well-being. Ride your bike rather than drive. Recycle."
Joyce also suggests using biodegradable kitty litter in place of clay litter, 2 million nonbiodegradable tons of which are currently dumped into landfills each year. And surf the Web to start researching the following nonfood aspects of your cat's kibble company:
With the pet food industry coming on board to support a whole host of changes that are environmentally friendly, cat owners can feel more optimistic about reducing their cats' carbon paw prints.

Who knew fruits didn't make for good cell phones? We sure didn't (I've been using a peach for years). But apparently, Samsung's newest ad showcases just how displeasing an apple is when held to the side of your head. This ad, posted to YouTube by Samsung Iceland, is incredibly weird but quite enjoyable.
This is what happens when you combine the displeasure of fruit, incredibly obvious symbolism, a Galaxy S4, dancing ninjas and a goat. We don't know whether to call this commercial brilliant or horrible. What we do know is that it gives no reason to buy a Galaxy S4, so in a way, it's not a good commercial. I have praised Samsung before for their commercials, because they show you the features in an interesting way and tell you why you'd want the device. This? Not so much.
The massive jab at Apple would probably be enjoyable to some Android fans. But we want to know what you think. Does this incredibly weird style appeal to you? Or is it stupid and useless? Do you like goats? Leave a comment!

Doctors note required to keep Canada Post home mail delivery
Canada Post announces it will stop door- to -door delivery of the mail in urban areas on Wednesday December 11, 2013. (Veronica Henri/QMI Agency)
Related Stories
MONTREAL — If you can't get to a community mailbox and want to continue to receive home delivery, you better get a doctor's note.
Documents obtained by QMI Agency reveal Canada Post will ask disabled clients for proof before allowing letter carriers to continue dropping off the mail.
Union sources provided QMI with two forms, drafted by Canada Post, that will be sent to customers who say they're unable to walk to their community mailbox.
The money-losing Crown corporation will phase out door-to-door delivery over five years beginning late this year and cut up to 8,000 jobs over the next 10 years.
The forms include several questions about a client's disability and how the affliction "affects their ability to get to the community mailbox."
The Crown corporation also says "certification from a qualified health care professional may be necessary."
Canada Post asks doctors to provide personal information, including a phone number.
A spokesman for Canada's privacy commissioner expressed concerns about the form and said the watchdog would contact Canada Post.
Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre, who has publicly lobbied against the Canada Post job cuts, called the move "disgusting and stupid."
Canada Post spokesman Anick Losier defended the medical-approval forms.
"The information gathered will help our team to better understand the clients' personal circumstances and undertake a dialogue with them about the type of help that would be most appropriate for each of them," Losier said in an e-mail.
Should a doctor's note be required to keep home delivery?

Prayer Before Communion My Lord Jesus Christ, I firmly believe that I am about to receive, in Communion, Your Body, Your Blood, Your Soul and Your Divinity. I believe it because You have said it, and I am ready to give my life to maintain this truth. Guardian Angel Prayer Angel of God, My guardian dear, To whom His love Commits me here; Ever this day (or night) Be at my, side, To light and guard, To rule and guide. Amen. An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. My First Communion The first time I received Jesus Was a wonderous day for me to be united with Christ, my Saviour Who died for us on Calvary. This card reminds me to thank Him for the special gift He gave: The sacrament of Holy Eucharist through which we all are saved. It helps me think of the first time Jesus came into my heart And if I but follow His message He and I will never part. As Jesus said on that holy night so many years ago If we but take and eat this bread Eternal life we will know. Each time I receive communion I'll think of His love for me And I'll thank Him for giving to us the greatest miracle in history.

Abortion facts in health care reform
Should health care reform pass, it seems, from what some are saying, that pregnant women across the country will be running out to get abortions. It will be as if abortion became legal all over again!
While there's been a lot of speculation about the effect of health care reform on abortion, until now, I've had no idea what the Senate bill actually says about it. Take it with a grain of salt if you will--it comes from Catholics who support reform because in this country the best (and most cost effective) way to access the human right to health care is through having insurance--but here are the abortion-related provisions in the Senate-approved health care reform bill: (Here's the full letter to Senate leaders from Catholic and Evangelical leaders.)
- Prohibits the Secretary of HHS from requiring the coverage of any abortion services as part of the essential health benefits for any qualified health plan offered in a state insurance Exchange (pg. 2070);
- Allows the insurance company to decide whether or not to include coverage of abortion services, including the Hyde abortion exceptions, in a qualified health insurance plan offered in a state insurance Exchange (pg. 2070);
- Prohibits insurance companies from using federal funds, including federal tax credits and cost-sharing assistance, to pay for abortion services except for those services allowable under the Hyde amendment (pg. 2071);
- Requires an insurance company that chooses to offer a plan in a State Exchange with abortion coverage, beyond the Hyde abortion exceptions, to collect a separate second premium payment from each enrollee for the cost of the abortion coverage (pgs. 2071-2072 & 2074-2075);
- Requires the insurance company to deposit all separate payments into a separate account that consists solely of abortion premium payments and that it is used exclusively to pay for such services (pgs. 2072-2074);
- Requires the state health insurance commissioners to ensure that insurance companies comply with these requirements in accordance with guidance and accounting standards set by the Office of Management and Budget and the Government Accountability Office (pg. 2075)
- Requires insurance companies that offer general abortion coverage as part of a qualified health plan to provide a notice of coverage in the summary of benefits and coverage explanation (pg. 2076);
- Allows states to pass a law prohibiting the inclusion of abortion coverage in plans offered in a state health insurance Exchange (pg. 2069);
- Requires the director of the Office of Public Management to ensure that there is at least one private, multi-state qualified health plan offered in each state insurance Exchange that does not provide coverage of abortion services beyond the Hyde exceptions (pgs. 2087-2088);
- Prohibits insurance companies offering qualified health plans from discriminating against any individual health care provider or health care facility because of its unwillingness to provide, pay for, provide coverage of, or refer for abortions (pg. 2076);
- Prohibits the preemption of state laws regarding abortion (pg. 2077);
- Maintains current Federal laws relative to conscience protection; willingness or refusal to provide abortion; and discrimination on the basis of the willingness or refusal to provide, pay for, cover, or refer for abortion or to provide or participate in training to provide abortion (pg. 2077);
- Establishes and provides $250 million for programs to support vulnerable pregnant women (pgs. 2170-2173); and
- Increases the adoption tax credit and makes it refundable so that lower income families can access the tax credit (pgs 2400-2407).
From what I see, I don't understand why this doesn't match the scrutiny of the requirements to uphold the Hyde Amendment (which the bishops support though it does make exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother).
In fact, one element--the requirement for insurance companies to provide notice of coverage for abortion--would help all who want to avoid "complicity" with abortion out. I bet most, unless you have insurance through a Catholic organization, pay for insurance that includes abortion coverage. Having the option to buy insurance that doesn't have abortion coverage is a plus to this plan.
Despite our best efforts to keep federal funds away from abortion, the fact remains that we live in a country where abortion is legal. Until it becomes illegal (and as a pragmatist I doubt it will), having insurance in which pregnancy isn't a pre-existing condition and having $250 million in programs to support vulnerable pregnant women will do a lot of good for the unborn.

Sorry about the length of this post in advance. If you read it all, you get a gold star!
I've been saving up for an instrument for the last few years, and getting closer to my money goals for the quality of instrument I hope to get. I currently have two guitars, both acoustic. One can plug in, and sounds pretty nice. I'm the kind of person who would much rather have one really nice instrument than two mediocre. Plus, with my growing family, I'm sure we have more important things to do with our money than buy lots of expensive guitars. Bottom line, I'm only getting one more instrument during this phase of my life.
For the longest time, I've been sure I'm going to get an electric guitar with this money. But recently, I've been thinking about maybe getting a bass instead. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I'm of the opinion that if you get another instrument, it ought to be able to open up lots of possibilities that weren't available with your existing instruments.
I'm finding more and more that I can do most of the stuff I want to on my accoustic guitar. I'm not too interested in hard rock, mostly just popular classic rock and current hits that I can play at work parties, softer stuff to play at wedding receptions, chord melodies that I can play at rest homes (and once they get good enough, play those at wedding receptions too). I'm mostly interested in improv and covering popular songs. Some time down the road, I'd like to put a jazz group together. I'm thinking the main benefits of an electric guitar would be easier on the hands to play during an extended gig and more possibilities of different sounds.
I've been deliberating recently if I should get a bass instead. You really miss the sound of a bass if it's not there, it has such a rich, low sound. For the kinds of songs I play, do people care if it's electric vs accoustic if you're a talented musician? I also think bass sound really good with the piano which my wife plays (like Ben Folds 5, The Fray). I have a lot of friends with acoustic guitars, and I've come to the conclusion that any more than 2 acoustic guitars is muddy. I think of a bass as the potatoes that go with steak--somebody has to play it. And, I love walking bass lines in older jazz songs.
The big question in my mind: which one will I enjoy more? Is the bass boring to you guys? My brother-in-law is a very good guitarist, and he joined a band with two other really good guys. There band was more or less established, he's just replacing the bassist who went off to college. I see him playing the old bass lines they had, no problem. He looks bored, frankly. The other two guitarists are quite good, and like to show off. And, it seems like you can't have everybody showing off at the same time, someone needs to 'hold down the fort'. I've come to see bass as more of a need than a want, but it sounds so good.
So, my question to you who have played bass or deliberately stayed away, what do you like about it? Do you have an favorite bands that showcase the bass? Do you feel like you are fulfilled when you play it? Do you feel like you can progress as far as a musician if you are 'limited' to bass? What advice do you have for someone who is debating between an electric guitar and a bass, and wants to be good at improv, and maybe lead other musicians?

Originally started as a series of sketches for the University of Minnesota Design Institute's 'Typeface: Twin Cities' competition, the typeface Locator was created for designers requiring a sans serif for text and display work. A range of six weights with italics for each are marked by an emphasis on horizontal movement, limited detail and refined presence.
As part of the original brief, Locator was intended to work equally well for text and display. Knowing the lowercase would cover the bulk of the text work, special attention has been given to the capitals for display and titling work. To extend Locator's range even further, a companion set of display capitals – Locator Display – was designed later.
The 'Typeface: Twin Cities' project was later documented by Deborah Littlejohn in the book Metro Letters. Portions of the book are set in Locator.

— Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Thursday to tighten a loophole that allowed close relatives to help fugitives flee without fear of getting punished.
Inspired by a Tribune investigation, the new law allows criminal charges to be filed against a fugitive's spouse, parent and other close relatives who help him avoid prosecution. The new law makes it a felony for close relatives 18 and older to aid the fugitives.
Illinois had been one of only 14 states that exempted close relatives from criminal charges, a point underscored in the Tribune series, "Fugitives From Justice," which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for investigative reporting. The report showed relatives helped fugitives leave the United States and remain free even in cases where people were killed.
"It is my duty to keep the people of Illinois safe and ensure we have a sound criminal justice system," Quinn said. "This legislation will prevent criminals from evading punishment and help us bring them to justice."
Sponsored by Sen. Ira Silverstein, D-Chicago, and Rep. Sidney Mathias, R-Buffalo Grove, the law allows judges to punish violators with a prison terms of one to three years and a fine of $25,000.
"We can't have a system where people are hiding criminals," Silverstein said. "I'll give kudos to the Tribune for bringing this to everyone's attention. This loophole had to be closed."
The law takes effect Jan. 1.
The governor is in Spain until Sunday, trying to attract more investment in Illinois' manufacturing, alternative-energy and construction sectors. The country is in the midst of an economic crisis.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that This Is 40 is a sort-of sequel to Judd Apatow's popular comedy Knocked Up, following that movie's supporting characters, Debbie (Leslie Mann) and Pete (Paul Rudd), as they hit mid-life and start taking their marriage, and each other, for granted. It's classic Apatow, combining raunchy humor with tender moments, sometimes in the same scene, in ways that seem both realistic and entertaining. There are lots of sexual references and some intimate moments (though not much actual nudity beyond a woman's breasts), suggested oral sex, graphic bathroom humor, a scene of adults getting very high on pot cookies, other drinking/smoking, kids and teenagers misbehaving, and tons of strong language ("f--k," "s--t," and much more).
Messages: This Is 40 takes the position that marriage is hard, and people will irritate each other no matter how strong a connection they may have. But being able to ignore the small stuff and work together on the big things, even when you might think your partner is acting ridiculous, is the key to making a relationship last for the long haul.
Role models: Pete and Debbie bicker about what music to listen to, nag each other about each other's unhealthy and annoying habits, fight about parenting issues, and lie about their spending habits. In other words, they have a convincingly normal marriage, and when they aren't screaming, they clearly love each other. In fact, in one tender moment they promise never to murder each other, and it really sounds caring.
Violence: Several heated fights -- between a long-married couple, between parents and children, and between a frustrated boss and his employees. Two men get into a fist fight that leaves one rolling on the ground in pain.
Sex: Lots of sexual references, and two scenes featuring a married couple in intimate moments, including a spontaneous episode of oral sex that shows a woman's head moving up and down. A wife propositions her husband (her breasts are shown) in a scene that's anything but intimate. Other scenes show a woman in her underwear for no specific reason. A married couple watches a young woman have enthusiastic sex from a webcam when she doesn't know she's being watched. Another scene shows one female character poking at another's breasts with admiration. A character admits to being a professional escort. A breast is shown when a character gets a mammogram.
Language: Tons of swearing, with very frequent use of "f--k," plus "s--t," "d--k," "c--k," "prick," "a--hole," "c--t," "p---y," "boob," "ass," "crap," "damn," "goddamn," "oh my God," and more. Teens swear at their parents, and adults swear at other teens, as well as each other, both during casual conversation and in moments of stress.
Consumerism: Many Apple products are featured prominently, especially a frequently used iPad. Several characters wear Nike sportswear. Characters also name-check well-known brands, including Facebook and the TV show Glee. The series Lost plays an important role in the plot and is mentioned repeatedly. Many musicians are also mentioned by name, and a few appear in the film.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: An adult couple gets very high on pot cookies and acts ridiculous. A woman is trying to give up cigarettes but often smokes them secretly. People drink beer and other drinks at bars and parties.

In honor of Kelly Slater's historic 10th ASP World Surfing Championship, and in recognition of Kelly's philanthropic nature, the Quiksilver Foundation is pleased to announce "10 for TEN" and will be donating a total sum of $100,000 to benefit 10 non-profit organizations selected by The Champ himself.
The Quiksilver Foundation's "10 for TEN" has given Kelly the opportunity to create awareness and support for non-profit organizations that he is passionate about and that deserve a celebratory donation. Partnering with the Quiksilver Foundation, Kelly reviewed numerous worthy causes and selected 10 non-profits that will each receive a donation of $10K in celebration of his 10th ASP World Surfing Championship.
"Ten $10,000 donations is really special. As a kid I could not have fathomed being able to give such a nice gift to charities I believe in and it was totally unexpected! Thank you again to Quik and the Quik Foundation, and I hope these special groups find this to be a big help in the holiday months," said Kelly.
The 10 beneficiaries are:
$10K – Mauli Ola Foundation
$10K – Na Kalai Wa'a Moku O Hawai'i
$10K – Kokua Hawai'i Foundation
$10K – Space Coast Early Intervention Center
$10K – Best Friends Animal Society
$10K – Boys and Girls Club of San Clemente
$10K – Smile Train
$10K – Waves for Water
$10K – LA Surf Bus Foundation
$10K – SurfAid
"We are excited to be working with The Champ on selecting caring organizations, all with good causes, that are more than deserving of $10K each in honor of Kelly's 10th World Title," said Ryan Ashton, Director of the Quiksilver Foundation. "All of his selections fall in line with the Quiksilver Foundation's mission to support environmental, educational, health and humanitarian projects."
Each of the causes selected have impacted Kelly's life in some meaningful way. By spreading the $100,000 evenly among the 10 non-profits Kelly hopes that each beneficiary will use the donation for the betterment of their individual causes and together they will make a difference for our global community.

WASHINGTON – For the first time in days, President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner spoke by phone Wednesday about the "fiscal cliff" that threatens to knock the economy into recession, raising the prospect of fresh negotiations to prevent tax increases and spending cuts set to kick in Jan. 1.
Officials provided no details of the conversation, which came on the same day the president, hewing to a hard line, publicly warned congressional Republicans not to inject the threat of a government default into the already complex issue.
"It's not a game I will play," Obama told a group of business leaders as Republicans struggled to find their footing in talks with a recently re-elected president and unified congressional Democrats.
Among the Republicans, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma became the latest to break ranks and say he could support Obama's demand for an increase in tax rates on upper incomes as part of a comprehensive plan to cut federal deficits.
Across the Capitol, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said Republicans want to "sit down with the president. We want to talk specifics." He noted that Republicans had made a compromise offer earlier in the week and the White House had rejected it.
Officials said after the talk between Obama and Boehner, R-Ohio, there was no immediate plan for a resumption of negotiations to avert the cliff. At the same time, they said that for the first time in a few days, at least one top presidential aide had been in touch with Republicans by email on the subject.
Each side has been declaring that the crisis can be averted if the other will give ground.
"We can probably solve this in about a week, it's not that tough," Obama said in lunchtime remarks to the Business Roundtable.
It has been several days since either the president or congressional Democrats signaled any interest in negotiations that both sides say are essential to a compromise. Presidential aides have even encouraged speculation that Obama is willing to let the economy go over the "fiscal cliff" if necessary and gamble that the public blames Republicans for any fallout.
Eventually, Democrats acknowledge, there will be compromise talks, possibly quite soon, toward an agreement that raises revenues, reins in Medicare and other government benefit programs, and perhaps raises the government's $16.4 trillion borrowing limit.
For now, the demonstration of presidential inflexibility appears designed to show that, unlike two years ago, Obama will refuse to sign legislation extending top-rate tax cuts and also to allow public and private pressure to build on the Republican leadership.

Some quick thoughts after watching the live stream:
-Lots of emphasis on the "secret of the world", perhaps too much? That little "flashback" (or what would you call it) scene... I feel like anime-only viewers could deduce a lot from it.
-Narcolepsy at the end. At first I wasn't too keen on using it as a cliffhanger, since it wasn't that much of a "dark" plot point in the VN, but then I had a thought - what if they use it as a device to mark an iteration of the loop? That would work really damn well.
Anyway lots of plot hints in the second episode already. Another push for squeezing Refrain in 26 episodes, since I don't think they'd be hinting so much this early on otherwise.

Just to be sure: please do not make -any- mention of the "secret" sequence in the episode thread. The sequence is already "flat" on everyone face already, so any hints or comments by VN readers might give -way- too much emphasis on an already dangerous point.
Really, I don't get why they made such emphasis on the secret of the world, which was originally seen as a random statement (which is "worse" since you see Kyousuke with lennon in the early part of ep1). So instead of having some weird issues with the characters, it makes the world setting fishy to begin with (and having ALL characters shown in the flashbacks despite he only met Komari thus far is just asking for issue).

Makes sense if you consider how the BDs are set up though, with 3 episodes each.
BD1 (eps 1-3) - common
BD2 (eps 4-6) - Komari
BD3-6 (eps 7-18) - each one for the other girls, with common spread in between
BD7 (eps 19-21) - Rin2
BD8-9 (eps 22-26) - Refrain
or something like that.

The narcolepsy bit makes a lot of sense though. (referring to the fact that it's emphasized as Riki's weakness)
I also don't see anything wrong with emphasizing the secret of the world. In my opinion it's a great hook for an anime. Admittedly, it doesn't really work well when done as the way you describe if it had been in the VN.

The evidence keeps stacking up. If it really is one season...
Well, I just hope they do it well. I understand that an Anime adaptation will never be exactly the same as the original work, but maybe they can still do something good with it, you know?
Hell, it'll give people more incentive to read the Visual Novel.

Suddenly remembered that I saw storyboard leaks posted on Baidu last month (I believe someone posted one on the general thread here a while ago as well). I ignored them back then thinking they were fake, but...
What does that last panel on the last page say? "Bad End"? Kinda looks more like "Bird End". (The other pages might be nice for the general anime thread, but I want to discuss that last panel, it's suspicious.)

I think the episode basically confirms it: This is the only season of LB were getting. Bracing myself for disappointment. And as for the panels im pretty sure that says bird end...but it might be bad engrish (or something) for bad end.

I insist one last time: do -not- even mention these as "flashbacks" at -all-. Flashbacks would mean the scenes seen are from the -past- which is a certain give away (whereas deja vu and all, are of a different nature).
To play safe, just don't even note them and let non VN reader give heads or tails about these.

Btw, those are the Storys Nagai did? D:
In my personal opinion, the special emphasis in the secret of the world. Simply was a way to hook the anime-only viewers to the series. At this point, a lot of criticism has been made about some kind of lack of significance or sustance in the actions and events that characters get involved. So, I can understand up to a point the reasons of that move.
What interested me were those routes frames in Riki's mind when he saw the message. That is evidently anime's original influence, and is somehow telling us that Riki at this point had already experienced those situations, but thinking better, Rin behaves just like the first time you play the VN, so nothing should have happened until now.
So that "continuous/omnibus format" mixture I had mentioned before, (I don't remember the thread specifically at this moment, I will search it) could explain all of this in part.
At least is interesting that they are doing original changes to develop the adaption of the plot. It brings new airs to the VN reader.
pd: Here I found it! I wrote this until a month or two. Don't remember it well.

And yup, Nagai's storyboards. Messier than I thought they would be!
Was just about to make a post asking what that segment meant for the continuity of the anime. That's what I was mainly referring to with "emphasis on the secret of the world" too, not that line itself but showing shots from all the routes.
The main two things I'd like to point out with your theory:
1) Staff have emphasized in interviews that they're going for friendship in the character routes rather than romance.
2) Forgive me if I'm interpreting incorrectly, but it seems like the loops would be really obvious with that set-up? Or rather not hiding the loops at all.
That's the main problem with this adaptation, I have yet to encounter an anime where the viewer isn't supposed to realize that the world is looping. It takes advantage of the visual novel structure and is near impossible to pull off in another medium. That's why I was worried about that segment in today's episode, since first-time viewers might be able to deduce something big from it. (Then again I was spoiled on the looping before I got to Refrain, and it hardly affected my enjoyment at all.)
So basically... is JC trying some different continuity with the anime, or was this just a hook that won't be addressed again and leave something of a plot hole?

So, if they're gonna show each route in a flashback kinda way, then probably there will be little to no loop shown. Probably along the way, Riki and Rin will notice that their flashbacks doesn't really add up and thus leading them to notice the secret of the world?

The problem with the flashback idea is that Rin and Riki are supposed to be much more developed than they are now. There were also shots from Rin2 in there, which means we'd be in Refrain now, which definitely isn't the case. Perhaps they're changing the loop mechanics so that Riki can revisit each girl's route multiple times, except they have yet to reach the events of the end of Rin2 until now?

I liked the rewrite of the cleaning scene and Komari joining the team. Being an anime, it's not possible to show the subtle hints we had of Rin growing each loop. From here on out, I'm going to expect a mix of fairly faithful condensed scenes and rewritten scenes to show Rin growing. Now the only question is how the anime will show Riki's growth ... We have to get at least one bad end. Unless the anime intends for this to be the final loop (which would be kind of silly but...).

I'm still not sure how the hell they're going to handle the "timeline" now that Riki suddenly remembers every route including refrain? How does that even work considering he hasn't even gone through them yet?

Road tripping
Traveling Geneva fans new to the Upstate Eight Conference scene, pay heed: The Vikings' game tonight at Larkin will actually be played at Elgin High School's Memorial Field, which doubles as the site for the Royals' home football games.
Remember when …
St. Francis entered last year's Week 4 game against Montini with a 3-0 record, just like this year, but fell to the Broncos, 28-7.
Win or lose tonight, the Spartans hope they respond to this season's edition of the rivalry in better fashion. In 2012, the Spartans struggled down the stretch to a 5-4 record, missing the playoffs.
Sleeper game of the week
Marmion at Marian Central.
It's a shame the trek from Aurora to Woodstock is such a haul for Marmion-backers because this matchup of 3-0 teams is worth seeing.
The Cadets had success against Marian during the T.J. Lally era but have struggled with the perenially potent Hurricanes the past couple years.
Coaching spotlight
It'll be interesting to see how the four Tri-Cities teams bounce back emotionally after last week's rivalry games, especially St. Charles North, which is coming off its second overtime heartbreaker in a three-week span.
Of the four, St. Charles East by far has the toughest test this week in 2-1 Neuqua Valley. Saints coach Mike Fields said the team hasn't had any difficulty transitioning from the overtime win over North.
"They've been a pretty resilient bunch," Fields said. "They want to get better week to week."
Playoff watch
After falling to IC Catholic Prep last week and with late-season games against Marmion and Montini on the schedule, Aurora Central Catholic can ill-afford to stumble against teams it should beat, such as tonight's Suburban Christian Conference Gold opponent, Chicago Christian.

Freshening Up Your Lawn
The weather is warming up in most regions and, while it's not quite time for everyone to plant seeds and mow the lawn, there are some things you can do to get your yard ready for the warm months ahead.
Follow these lawn care tips to freshen up your yard for spring:
- Start Weeding - Unfortunately, there is no off season for weeds. Take a look around your yard and pull out any weeds that popped up over winter.
- Rake - If you live in an area with a lot of snow, your grass is probably packed down at this point. Rake your grass lightly to remove leftover leaves and dead grass.
- Aerate - Just like the grass itself, the soil underneath is probably compacted from winter. Aerating will allow oxygen, water and fertilizer to soak into the soil better.
- Clean Up Debris - Winter storms and wind can blow trash and other debris around in any neighborhood. Grab some gloves and a trash bag to take care of the litter in your yard and surrounding areas.
- Patch Bare Spots - Replace bare spots and dead areas with fresh soil and grass seed or sod. If you're not ready to repair bare spots, map out areas you will need to fix later in the season.
- Test Your Soil - Home test kits are easy to use and will help you learn what extra nutrients your soil needs. Fixing any problems now will make the rest of the season easier.

FedEx customs duty fee a convenience that makes them a lot of my money
It was right there on the bill from Federal Express (FedEx), an "advancement fee" on the customs duty paid for a package sent to me from overseas.
I pulled out my calculator and figured the $6.50 fee for the $25 customs fee was a 26 percent take. Wow. Talk about onerous.
In all the years I have received FedEx packages from overseas, I had never seen this fee. And the mark-up on it wasn't anything I could replicate on my own at a bank, a CD, an investment — not in the week between the time the box arrived and the bill came in the regular mail (how weird is that….my mail (the box) comes via FedEx but my FedEx bill comes via the mail).
